Global Records's first signed artist was Inna in 2008, whose career has been spanning over 10 years. She has released a series of international hits such as "Hot" (2008), "Sun Is Up" (2010), and "More than Friends" (2013) and recorded collaborations with performers including Daddy Yankee and J Balvin.[2] In January 2020, the Romanian public television (TVR) announced a collaboration with the record label to select the Romanian representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020,[3] with Roxen being selected with her track "Alcohol You". The contest was however cancelled on 18 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] Rotterdam hosted the 2021 contest, and Roxen competed with the track "Amnesia".[5] In February 2022, Wrs released the single "Llámame", with which he represented Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.[6][7][8]

Since August 2020, Global Records has been collaborating with Warner Music Group to promote its artists internationally and to license the Warner repertoire in Romania.[9] The first joint campaign was for Roxen and their then-latest single "How to Break a Heart". As of 2020, Global Records has launched regional divisions in Poland (Global Records Polska), Russia (Global Records Russia) and Turkey (Global Records Turkey).[10]
